Manx National Heritage has welcomed proposals to include a number of buildings and war memorials on the Isle of Man’s Protected Buildings Register.
The Isle of Man’s Protected Buildings Register marks and celebrates the special architectural and historic significance of a building, and brings it under the consideration of the planning system, so that it can be protected for future generations.
The oldest roofed building on the register is the Old Grammar School. Owned by Manx National Heritage, the building was built around 1200AD as the first town church in Castletown.
Under the latest round of proposed registrations, buildings have been identified under themes, the maritime buildings theme includes towers, lifeboat stations, and the boat house at the Nautical Museum. Five lighthouses are also under consideration including two on the Calf of Man designed by the world renowned engineer Robert Stevenson.
Steve Blackford, Head of Properties for Manx National Heritage (MNH) said: “Manx National Heritage welcomes proposals to register a number of historic buildings across the Isle of Man. We are particularly delighted to see the Nautical Museum considered for registration. Our Conservation Management Plan for the site supports this conclusion and we welcome the registration process”.
